Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

The affairs of the palace are like a battlefield, but there is no smoke.Jia Yuanchun knew that becoming a concubine de concubine was already a great grace of the emperor, and it would be good to earn half a moment of glory for the Jia family, so he didn't think about anything else.What's the fun of being in the back seat and enjoying all the wealth and honor, but all in this lonely deep palace?All the hard work she had put in for half of her life had already vanished on the day the late emperor gave her the marriage.

She lightly stroked Mu Zhaoyi's bun and walked up, and said with a soft smile: "The weather is always hot these days, presumably because it's going to be summer. Mu Zhaoyi's body is weak, I'm afraid he can't stand the heat, it's better to go back to the palace It’s delicious and a bowl of herbal tea is the only way to get rid of the heat. I’ve been busy this morning, and I’m also very tired, so I’m going back.”

After finishing speaking, she withdrew her hand and asked Baoqin to support her, but she didn't take her words to heart, and turned around.

Then Mu Zhaoyi couldn't prevent her from doing this, and shouted angrily: "Sister Defei!"

Jia Yuanchun kept walking, his face was as usual, and he said in a low voice: "The emperor loves me so much that he made me a concubine of virtue. It sounds like a virtuous and virtuous concubine. I think Mu Zhaoyi feels the same, so I read more."

Concubine Xiande, sitting in this position, she is already a great grace of the emperor.The emperor gave it, she wanted it.If the emperor doesn't give it to her, she can't snatch it.

When a new empress enters the palace, naturally the rules in all aspects have to be reorganized, or if it is unnecessary, the empress empress also has to order changes in order to light these three fires.Jia Yuanchun was originally the assistant in charge of the Six Palaces and the phoenix seal, but now that the empress is here, the phoenix seal has to be delivered as soon as possible.This is a matter in the harem, and there is no need to report it to the emperor, just talk to the empress dowager.The Empress Dowager West doesn't care now, but the Empress Dowager East wants to be in charge, but it depends on whether the emperor is willing to let her be in charge.After all the calculations, this burden still has to fall on the Empress Dowager.After all, the new queen is young and needs to be taught.

When Jia Yuanchun returned to the palace, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, ordered someone to fetch the phoenix seal, and then went to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace to answer the question.

In the Shoukang Palace, Gui Lan was watching the maidservant changing the dress, when she saw Jia Yuanchun coming in, she hurriedly smiled and greeted her: "My maidservant greets Concubine Xiande."

Jia Yuanchun excused her, glanced around with a smile, and said, "Auntie is busy?"

Gui Lan said: "It's hot, there are many flowers and trees in Shoukang Palace, and there are always small insects flying in. Although they don't bite or bite now, they always disturb people's peace when they see them."

"It's hot, there are always maids in the palace doing these things, why does aunt stand under the sun?" Jia Yuanchun said, and was supported by Guilan into the palace gate.

"The little palace maids who were only selected this year are always unreliable in their work. Watching them do things will save them from being lazy." Gui Lan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, the servants will go inside to pass on the message." , then turned around to open the curtain to go in.Then he stretched out his hand, remembered something, and called out, "Gui Ji."

A maidservant in stone blue clothes came over with a duster in her hand and said, "Sister, what's the matter?"

Gui Lan said: "It's hot, and it's inevitable that Concubine Xiande will be even hotter when she's standing. I'll talk about the work in your hands later, first take the round fan and fan the empress, it will at least bring some coolness."

"Yes." Gui Ji agreed, then put down the duster and opened the drawer to take out the round fan, walked to Jia Yuanchun's side, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I will serve you."

Seeing her familiarity, Jia Yuanchun took a closer look and asked, "I heard Gui Lan call you Gui Ji just now, but I remembered that her former sister was called Gui Ji, but she committed a crime and was sent to the violence room. "

Guiji was standing behind her right side, slowly shaking the fan with his hands, his face was like a bowl of milk in the porch in winter, it was so white that people could be horrified, but it was frozen solid, without a trace of waves, calm and peaceful, and lo and behold Not angry.She replied: "If you go back to your mother, it is the servant girl. The Empress Dowager is so kind, seeing the affection of the sister servant girl, at least let the servant girl come out, and now she is doing some rough work in Shoukang Palace."

It is absolutely incomparable with the previous scenery, but no matter what, it is better than the life in the violent room.

The storm room is like another world, like a purgatory on earth.Those who went in were very few and survived, and those who were able to come out were more like their skin, muscles and bones had been tempered thousands of times, and their appearance had changed both inside and outside.

Jia Yuanchun nodded, and Guilan opened the curtain to come out from that room, and said with a smile, "The empress dowager asked the empress to come in."

Jia Yuanchun stopped talking to Gui Ji and went inside.

Gui Lan was still standing outside and did not follow inside.Seeing that Jia Yuanchun was gone, he stretched out his hand to beckon Guiji over: "Master Fushou County just took the medicine, because he said his mouth was bitter, and he wanted to eat something light and refreshing. Go to the small kitchen, and say it's the little one from a while ago. Cucumber pickles are well done, ask them to make some and serve them up. There is also Miss Bao, who wants to eat stewed eggs with minced meat, you ask them to stew a bowl hot."

Gui Ji raised his eyes and glanced at her, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Jia Yuanchun entered the East Nuan Pavilion, only to see the Empress Dowager wearing only a homely palace attire, leaning on the couch of a noble concubine carved with red sandalwood characters.There was a purple rose satin mattress on the small kang at the side, and a girl in a palace dress of sky, water and blue was leaning on the big welcome pillow, facing Jia Yuanchun sideways, with only a small bun and a plum blossom hairpin on it, It was Lin Daiyu, the head of Fushou County.There was another girl in autumn-colored palace attire, her hand was resting on a small carved table beside her, her hair was slightly larger, and there were a few pearl hairpins scattered in her hair. It was Xue Baochai.The two were sitting and talking to each other, and there were two palace ribbons on the small table, which were only half-made and looked unfinished.

Seeing Jia Yuanchun coming in, the two stopped talking.After she and the Empress Dowager greeted her, they got up to greet her.

The Empress Dowager offered her a seat, she thanked the Empress and sat down, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's hot, why are you here?"

Jia Yuanchun then talked about the return of the Phoenix Seal, and said: "After all, the concubine is a concubine, and she manages all affairs in the six palaces. The name is not right. Now the empress is in charge of the middle palace. This is the best thing. Originally The emperor thought that his concubines were young and could do whatever they wanted, so he put the phoenix seal on the concubines for the time being, so that the empress dowager would not be disturbed by these trivial matters. Now that the empress has entered the palace, the concubine thought, Yin should be sent back to the Empress Dowager. It is reasonable and reasonable for the ancestors to hand it over to the Empress Dowager. If it is sent by a concubine, it is really not decent."

A concubine is like a concubine's wife. There is no reason to ask the concubine to hand over the key to the storehouse without the main room to enter the door.

Gui Lan came in with tea in his hands and offered it to Jia Yuanchun.The Empress Dowager pondered for a while, before she said: "The emperor is young, and it is very difficult for him to be troubled by the affairs in the court. Naturally, they should pay attention to the affairs in the harem. He named you Concubine De, and also used the title of Xian, Looking at it now, it is very appropriate."

It has nothing to do with other things, only this vision, this transparency, Jia Yuanchun should sit in the position of Concubine De.

Jia Yuanchun said with a smile: "Getting what my ancestor said, this is a benefit that ordinary people can't even ask for."

The Empress Dowager also laughed and said: "It is said that sisters are all alike, so it is true. Your two younger sisters are here with me, and Bao girl is fine, but Daiyu often says this. As I said, It doesn't matter whether you boast or not, whether you can eat it or drink it." After saying that, he ordered Tong Yi to take over the phoenix seal, and tidy it up. When Empress Ming'er comes to pay her respects, she will give it to her in a serious manner. she.

That's all for explaining, the Empress Dowager said again: "It's rare that your sisters are all there, don't rush to leave, stay and have dinner together before going back."

Today when the new queen enters the palace, the emperor will definitely go to the queen's place.It is precisely because of this that the Empress Dowager left Jia Yuanchun behind.One is because her two younger sisters are here, and the other is to remind the emperor that if you want to spoil a concubine, it is absolutely unacceptable that you want to spoil the queen's face just to spoil a concubine.

When the emperor has to be self-reliant, the former emperor loved the Queen Mother so much, didn't he also neglected her for nearly [-] years for the sake of the overall situation?I also said, how favored Mrs. Zuo was in the past, even if it was just a show, it was glamorous after all.Anyway, not only got one son.The remaining sons were all raised by the Queen Mother, and the sealed prince was also born by the Queen Mother.What is the reason for this?Empress Gein is the mother of the country, so what is the middle palace?

Throughout the dynasties, most emperors did not favor their queens.But in a peaceful and prosperous age, who has really seen the emperor abolish the empress for the sake of favoring the concubine?Very few.

After a while, a servant girl came in through the curtain, but it was Gui Ji who came in carrying a square food box.Seeing the gift, he put the food box forward and said: "This is fresh pickles made in the small kitchen and served with hot minced meat and stewed eggs. There is another letter saying that it was just sent in from outside the palace. Uncle Lin's family letter to Fushou county magistrate. Mrs. Lin has read it, so she ordered it to be sent to the county magistrate."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was naturally overjoyed.For a while, the pickles became only secondary, and the most important thing was the book.

Even the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Look at your appearance, your brother has been gone for so long, it's hard for you to miss him."

The Empress Dowager also knew about Murong Zhizhi going to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the matter.Lin Jue was able to write home letters and come back because he passed away in an open and aboveboard manner.But Murong Zhizhi went quietly, and he couldn't leak the news, the others in the palace only went to the frontier in front of him.Therefore, there are no family letters or oral letters, and there are very few news brought back secretly, which makes the empress dowager feel very upset.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu opened the letter, scanned it once, with a smile on her face, she knew that what Lin Jue wrote in the letter was all very good things.The Empress Dowager made up her mind, but she thought that Lin Daiyu was still young, so even if something happened, she couldn't tell her.Immediately said: "Look at your face is smiling, I told you early in the morning, although your brother has traveled a long distance, after all, there are many people serving him, and he has been serving him all the time, so it must be very useful. It doesn't take long Worry."

Xue Baochai smiled while eating stewed eggs, Lin Daiyu looked at her sideways, with a smile on her face, and asked, "Sister Bao, what are you laughing at? Are you kidding me?"

Xue Baochai held the spoon in his hand, and said with a smile: "My ancestor laughed too, why don't you ask my ancestor?"

Lin Daiyu turned her back to her, and said softly: "The old ancestor is not as bad as my sister! My sister laughed at me, but I just don't believe it. My sister came to the palace and didn't miss your brother?"

"Your brother is good, so you miss him." Xue Baochai put down the spoon, pointed at her with his finger, and said with a smile: "What good is my brother, you want me to think about it?"
